Day Before Departure
Well, I finally packed everything and came over to my parent's house for the evening since we are all traveling to Iran together. I am really excited about going, but to tell you the truth, I'm a little nervous. I have appreciated all of the well wishes that I have received in person and via email from everyone. It's good to know that people care about you. Hopefully my pictures and comments from Iran will be educational for everyone. I know the trip will be for me. Having grown up here in the U.S. and only having traveled out of North America once in my life (to Iran 20 years ago), I will definitely have many new experiences. It's going to be a long flight though. We'll be in transit for about 20 hours. The flight from Houston to Paris alone will be probably about 12-13 hours. Hopefully I packed everything I need. I will be posting some pictures here and some on a picture gallery that I have just set up. Bookmark the page when you go to it.

Hi Al,
It was a great idea to set up a blog. Wish you a good time in Iran.
AlJam,
Have a good trip buddy. Really looking forward to learning a little bit about the Iranian culture and sharing in some of your experiances while your there. Take lots of pictures, exspecialy of the good looking Iranian women. Be carefull, and I'll see you when you get back.

What is all this educational and great experience b.s.? You're fooling nobody. Let's be honest here, you're going there to find a bride.
Have fun!
This is going to be great. It may even supercede the Vote Al for SACA treasurer campaign of '02-03. I can only imagine where these photos will end up. Hint, hint Dr. Beyer!
Be safe and bring me back a camel.

Hey Al,
Do they have karoke over there? I bet you could be the next "Iran Idol" :-) Be safe, have fun, and bring me back a souvenir. I collect shot glasses and can't say that I have one from Iran.
PS Don't break any hearts!! ;-}
